Detailed description (English): In Hortifrut, our supervisors mobilize everyday to different parts in the field in order to supervise the work of the people in charge, and for this they used to use motorized vehicles. However, one month ago Hortifrut implemented the use of bicycles to fulfil these activities.
Currently, we have 8 bicycles in use and 17 motorized vehicles that our workers use. Bicycles travel approximately 5 km per day, which means that 40 km per day have been stopped by motorized vehicles. In this way, the project contributes to the conservation of the environment, because CO2 emissions and fuel consumption have been reduced. In addition, it also contributes to promote the health and well-being of our workers.
In a future we expect to implement more bicycles insted of motorized vehicles.
Detailed description (original language): Diariamente, en Hortifrut los supervisores se movilizan a distintos lugares dentro de campo con la finalidad de supervisar el trabajo del personal que tienen a cargo, y para ello usaban vehículos motorizados; sin embargo, desde hace más de un mes Hortifrut implementó el uso de bicicletas para realizar estas actividades.
Actualmente, en fundo tenemos 8 bicicletas en uso y 17 vehículos motorizados que usan nuestros trabajadores. Las bicicletas recorren a diario 5km aproximadamente, lo cual implica que 40 km diarios se han dejado de recorrer en los vehículos motorizados. De esta manera, el proyecto contribuye a la conservación del medio ambiente, ya que se reducen las emisiones de CO2 y el consumo de combustible. Además, contribuye también a fomentar la salud y bienestar de nuestros trabajadores.
